I like to read, but i usually dont cry over books, movies and stuff like that.
Today I finished reading "Marley and Me"
I finished reading at about 2AM and cried for over an hour...
Its now my FAVORITE book

I got teary eyed over the last Harry Potter book





I got teary eyed over the following:


1) Count of Monte Cristo
2) Ender's Game
3) Speaker for the Dead
4) Odd Thomas
5) The Vampire Lestat
6) Novell Zenworks 6.5 Administration - A Comprehensive Guide to Network systems management and Network Identity Management.

tess of d'ubervilles made me cry a lot, and a book by Vanessa Gorman about her daughter Layla

douglas coupland's "the gum thief" made me a little teary-eyed here and there, but then he'd get bitter and snarky again, and i could go back to relievedly suppressing my emotions.

I cried when Dumbledore died

the last one was steppenwolf.

oh, and when snape died.

evenstar said:

Yeah cried then too. damn Harry Potter

Imago said:

...i just noticed this.

x billion

I cry over books all the time.

evenstar said:

Hey

When he desperately wanted to connect again with whats-his-face "Nicolas" or wheover it was. That shit was sad, ya heard??!!


Plus I was 20 when I read it

I didn't.

I had to reread that 3 pages leading up to it again cause I refused to believe she actually killed off the Oracle of the story.

When I realized that she indeed killed him, I was sooooo goddamned pissed at Snape.

But then upon talking with Carrie (we shared an intense Harry Potter orgnote chain ) she brought to my attention that he was the stories Oracle, and seemed to never make mistakes. So how could he miscaculate Snapes.
She said something along the lines of "Remember, Dumbledore trusts Snape."


I laughed. I cried. I imagined McGongal younger and naked. But mostly I cried.





Thank you. You've been a good audience.

This would be better posted on Mythical Sluts Deep Mind Dish.

(Whatever happened to that shit?)

Imago said:

so was i!

i cried reading stephen king's insomnia though. a lot.

Forget Snape or Dumbledore..

I cried when SIRIUS died.

That shit HURT. Especially since it was HP's one shot at a normal life outside of Hogwarts.

i remember, crying the first time, i heard a favorite author of mines died. i was 8 or 9, at the time, i got heavily into Roald Dahl books, i manage to read about half the ones he wrote. he had an assignment to which we had to invite someone to an imaginary class meeting. i choose him, all the kids looked at me with either angry, or like are you serious kind of a face, they told me he died. i didn't do anything at the time, but in the bathroom, i cried..so yeah, the teacher thought i had the "runs"..but yeah..

it is sad- it should come with a box of tissues

but it is sad in a good way



i told a customer once she should buy some tissues when she was looking at that book- she said- is it sad- i said yes, it is a little sad
well, she said, i dont want it now- and huffed out of the store

her lose.

i cried when i read the boy in the stripped pyjamas

and HP has had me in tears more than once

I cried over the man who drives cabs

I cried over the lady in harlem scrubbing floors

I cried over your mom too

evenstar said:

I remember getting a little misty-eyed over that one-- Steppenwolf that is. To my recollection The Grapes of Wrath, Kafka on The Shore, and even The Great Gatsby had that affect on me, among others. I guess I'm a sucker that way.

One of my favest writers.

alphastreet said:

You saying you don't read books?

I do read, I just felt like being an asshole, nothing against you

alphastreet said:

Ah, I like honesty.

I think The Man Who Drives Cabs is a kewl book title.

I cry over almost anything.
I got misty eyed just reading this thread.
Marley and me, I cried for a few minutes and then hugged my dog,
but I was reading HP at work and when dumbledore died I had to go in the bathroom to regain composure. I cried for 20 minutes.

This next HP movie is going to be hard.

I cried during the kite runner
I cried during the time travelers wife
... the poisonwood bible
...the secret life of bees
...suzannes diary to nicholas


I cried when shel silverstein died


I am a sucker for a good book and just a big ole cry baby.

Imago said:

Wait, so you cried over something I said?




Pussy.

CarrieMpls said:

I think it was just indigestion from leftover pie.


(I sense a running gag coming on )

Imago said:

I deserved that.

I cry over books all the time.


I just noticed that CarrieMpls posted this exact same sentence.
